Well that's certainly the same as KD and probably most, if not all, other NPC sororities.

I think the main thing behind our emphasis on the no "big-little" is that a diamond sister is a special friend that connects with the Alpha member.

How is this different from big littles????

Your diamond sister is your sponsor through initiation

once again, same in KD and other GLOs

As honey has said, I'm in no way trying to say that diamonds are better than big/littles....if this system works for you, keep it! [/quote]
There's no difference in the "systems", outside of different names

I think mainly ADPi's use "big diamond" and "little diamond" because members of other GLO's (and even GDI's) understand the big-little concept and don't understand what a diamond sister is, plus they're using it to signify a specific diamond sister...otherwise, it gets pretty confusing saying my diamond sister for both your sponsor and the sister you sponsored!

Once again, how is this different from big littles? Now you're even inserting big and little into the name.... so the only difference is adding a word, "diamond"
Nothing that has been said makes diamond sisters any different from big/littles besides the name. It's just a more PC term- like PNM instead of rushee. Maybe something has been missing from the explanations, but I don't see ANY difference.
To put down the traditions of other GLOs (that aren't harmful in any way!!!) and say that your way is better (which no one's outright said in those words... but it's surely coming across that way) and you're glad you don't do big littles, etc. isn't right.
